If the prospective member has a letter of good standing from another U.S. Armed Forces Flight Center / Aero Club the letter must be submitted with the AF Form 1710. Upon approval of the application by the manager, the applicant will be entitled to all privileges and benefits afforded to members. 1.1.2.1. Once the application is accepted and approved, the manager will make available a copy of this SOP to the new member. The manager or a Flight Center representative will explain the aircraft rates, method of scheduling aircraft and instructors, the Pilot Information File (PIF) system, and the tests that must be completed prior to flight as pilot in command. The new member will also be informed that they are responsible for paying monthly dues, regardless of whether they fly or not. Fees for all other rentals, services, and retail items are payable immediately by cash, check, or credit card. Members must provide a valid credit card number for dues billing purposes. 1.1.2.2. If a prospective member joins on or before the 15th day of the month, they will be assessed that month’s membership dues in full. If a prospective member joins on or after the 16th day of the month, they will be assessed one half that month’s membership dues. 3
1 January 2020 1.1.3. Resignation. Resignation must be submitted in writing to the Flight Center manager. A simple handwritten statement of resignation will suffice; however, it must be signed, dated, and contain a forwarding address. Resignation becomes effective on the date the written request is received at the Flight Center. 1.1.4. Suspension/Expulsion. At the discretion of the manager, an individual’s membership may be suspended / discontinued for just cause. Grounds for suspension / expulsion include violations of Flight Center SOP, policies, or FAA and Air Force directives. Violations of Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs) will be reported to the Flight Standards District Office (FSDO). 1.1.4.1. Discontinuance of membership will be directed by the manager when, upon investigation of the case, it is determined that the individual involved, willfully and knowingly disregarded safe flying rules or has demonstrated unsatisfactory flying proficiency that cannot be improved to meet Flight Center standards. Suspension shall be immediate upon such action and the final expulsion will be at a date set by the manager. 1.1.4.2. In the interest of other Flight Center members, it is the duty of each member to immediately notify the Flight Center manager, chief flight instructor, operations officer, safety officer, or clearing authority, when violations are observed. Safety of flight is paramount to the Flight Center’s operations. 1.2. Quorums and meetings. 1.2.1 Safety & General Meetings are held on the first Wednesday of each month at 1830 hours, unless otherwise announced. A sign in sheet will be provided and members are required to sign in to document attendance of the safety meeting. 1.2.2. Instructor Meetings. Instructor meetings will be held during the half-hour preceding the safety and general membership meeting at the discretion of the chief flight instructor. 1.2.3. Safety Meeting Attendance. Member and flight instructor currency in aero club aircraft is conditional upon attendance at Flight Center safety meetings. When a Safety Meeting is missed, flying privileges, whether as PIC, flight with an instructor, or as a passenger, for any member, are denied until cleared by the manager or chief flight instructor. 1.2.3.1. If a safety meeting is missed, alternate means of making up the meeting will be prescribed by the manager. Options include, but are not limited to, the following: 1.2.3.2. Review recordings (DVD) of the missed safety meeting(s). 1.2.3.3. Review meeting minutes from the missed safety meeting(s). 1.2.3.4. Receive a briefing from the manager or chief flight instructor on subjects covered during the missed safety meeting(s). 4
1 January 2020 1.2.4. Absences: Documented valid reasons for missing a safety meeting must be submitted to and approved by the Flight Center Manager or Chief Flight Instructor. Acceptable reasons for excused absences are emergencies, duty status, and work commitments. Members should provide appropriate documentation when requesting to be excused from a safety meeting. If a member misses three safety meetings in a row, the member must attend a safety meeting prior to regaining flying privileges. Without formal approval, absences from safety meetings will be considered unexcused absences requiring attendance at a safety meeting before flying privileges are reinstated. 1.3. Aircraft scheduling procedures. 1.3.1. Aircraft Reservations. Aircraft will be reserved on a first come, first served basis. The computer-scheduling program, FlightSchedulePro.com, will be used to schedule all flights. Local area flights cannot be reserved more than 60 days in advance. If conflicts in the scheduling of an aircraft cannot be resolved, contact the Flight Center manager or chief flight instructor. 1.3.2. Flight Cancellation. The member should cancel scheduled flights no later than 24 hours before the scheduled takeoff time. It is the student’s responsibility to notify his / her flight instructor of any changes or cancellations. When airplane reservations are canceled due to maintenance, the Flight Center staff will attempt to notify the individuals affected or attempt to find an equivalent airplane for the same time block. Failure to use an airplane as scheduled without canceling a reservation, or chronic “no shows” without canceling a reservation, will result in the member being charged 35.00. Any aircraft scheduled for a local flight and not claimed within 20 minutes of the scheduled period will be made available for use for the remainder of the period. 1.3.3. Schedule for Checkout. Members may schedule an aircraft for initial checkout purposes. Scheduling of flight time beyond the checkout is not permitted unless the pilot is checked out and current in the aircraft. 1.3.4. Double Scheduling. Scheduling more than one airplane for the same time block is absolutely prohibited. Repeated violations of this nature will be grounds for membership suspension. 1.3.5. Cross-Country. A cross-country flight is defined as a flight that departs the local area (see Attachment 2). The local area consists of a 50 nautical mile radius that is centered on the Albuquerque International Sunport (KABQ). Extensions to the local area include Socorro, NM (KONM) and Grants, NM (KGNT). Cross-country flights are not authorized unless a crosscountry request is submitted and approved by the chief flight instructor; or, in the case of sameday “out-and-back” requests, an aero club instructor. 1.3.5.1. Members will submit a local cross-country request for all cross-country flights, including training flights and out-and-backs. Fill out the cross-country request with enough information to replicate how you will accomplish the flight (route of flight, fuel stops, passengers, etc). Do not deviate from the approved cross-country request, except 5
1 January 2020 for emergencies, or minor weather deviations, without chief flight instructor approval. Members shall schedule the aircraft using Flight Schedule Pro. 1.3.5.2. Cross-country requests will not be approved unless the pilot is checked out and current in the scheduled aircraft. However, this will not prohibit the pilot from reserving an aircraft if the member can be reasonably expected to gain currency prior to the day of the flight. 1.3.5.3. Maximum duration of any cross-country will be 5 days, unless other arrangements are made with the manager. The manager shall be notified of any weather or maintenance delays that prevent timely return. 1.3.5.4. Kirtland Flight Center aircraft will not be flown outside the Continental United States. 1.3.5.5. Approved cross-country requests will be filed in the cross-country file box according to the month of departure. On the day of the member’s cross-country, remove the request from the cross-country box and place the approved request on the clipboard with the aircraft dispatch slip. 1.3.5.6. Members may sign out a navigation chart kit for cross-country flights. The member will sign for the entire kit, not just a few items, and shall not leave an incomplete kit in the Flight Center. The manager or chief flight instructor shall be notified if any kit is found to be incomplete or out of date. 1.3.5.7. Daily utilization rates apply for cross-country flights. Minimum use will be computed at the rate of two hours per day or three hours per weekend day, for each day the aircraft will be away or the actual Hobbs time recorded, whichever is greater. The two-hour rule does not apply to the day of return if return is before 1200. 6
1 January 2020 CHAPTER 2 Pilot Currency Requirements 2.1. Pilot Currency. Pilot currency requirements are those published in the AFMAN 34-152 and FAR’s. Presentation of a handwritten logbook or computerized logbook, provided all applicable currency information is included, is required, in order to credit / update the Automated Dispatch Program (ADP). 2.2. Pilot’s Information File (PIF). Only the chief flight instructor, assistant chief flight instructor, or Flight Center manager may approve items for inclusion in the PIF. The chief flight instructor and assistant chief flight instructor maintain the PIF. The number and date of the most recent PIF item will be posted on the flight activity board. 2.3. Automated Dispatch Program (ADP). 2.3.1. Adding Members. When a pilot or student joins the Flight Center, management will enter the new member into the computer Flight Training System, Automated Dispatch Program database, hereafter called the ADP. 2.3.2. Record Entry. The Flight Center instructor conducting the individual’s initial checkout will prepare the required forms and enter the data into the computer. 2.3.3. Records Maintenance. Members are responsible for maintaining their own currency records. 2.3.4. Flight Currency Record. When flight data is entered into the ADP Program, the program automatically updates the pilot’s currency. 2.3.5. PIF / Safety / Annual Currency Record. Members will have the capability to update reviewing the current PIF in the ADP. Safety Meeting attendance will only be credited by either the Flight Center manager or chief flight instructor. Annual currency requirements will be updated by the Kirtland Flight Center manager or instructor conducting the annual currency flight. 2.3.6. Standardization Check. An initial aircraft checkout or successful FAA flight check for an airman certificate or rating satisfies this requirement provided all required written tests designated by the Aero Club manager are also completed, graded, reviewed, and the AF Form 1584 is completed by the examiner or chief flight instructor and approved by the manager. The instructor will endorse the member’s logbook as appropriate and enter the data into the ADP. 2.3.7. FAA Medical Certificate. The expiration date of the certificate will be entered as a Third Class Medical or a Second Class Medical, whichever is appropriate. 2.3.8. AF Form 1585, Covenant Not to Sue / Indemnity Agreement. Required annually for all 7
1 January 2020 members and passengers. To the maximum extent possible, the Flight Center manager will be the Aero Club Official to execute the AF Form 1585. The date when the document is signed will be entered into the Clearing Program. Exceptions: FAA representatives performing official FAA duties are exempt from signing an AF Form 1585. 2.3.9. Aircraft checks. Enter the date of the annual standardization check ride into the computer for each aircraft in which currency is maintained. Standardization, Aircraft and Mountain written tests must be completed, graded, and reviewed prior to a check flight. The Emergency Procedures Closed book test is required whenever currency is lost. 2.3.10. FAA Flight Review. Applies to all FAA certificated pilots (not students) and expires twenty-four calendar months after the flight review. A successful FAA flight check for issuance of a pilot certificate, rating, or operating privilege satisfies this requirement. Satisfactorily completing one or more phases of an FAA-sponsored pilot proficiency award program also satisfies this requirement. The check date of the flight review will be entered into the computer. 2.3.11. Mountain Flying Test and Video. Pilots must satisfactorily complete a written test on mountain flying procedures. The written test is a one-time requirement. Pilots must also complete the mountain flying annual requirements. 2.3.12. PIF Items. PIF currency is maintained using the ADP program. 2.3.13. Safety Meetings. Safety meetings are held the first Wednesday of each month at 1830, unless otherwise announced. Attendance at safety meetings will be documented in the ADP. When a Safety Meeting is missed, flying privileges, whether as PIC, flight with an instructor, or as a passenger, for any member, are denied until cleared by the manager or chief flight instructor. The member must watch the recorded meeting and provide the Flight Center manager or chief flight instructor written documentation of the items discussed, review the written minutes, or be briefed by the chief flight instructor. The ADP must be updated by either the Flight Center manager or chief flight instructor or clearance to fly will not be authorized. Waivers to the requirements of AFMAN 34-152, paragraph 5.3 may be approved by the manager if a member provides a written statement from his or her employer or school explaining schedule conflicts with work or school commitments. The statement will specify the duration of the conflict, not to exceed one year, and will be filed in the membership folder. 2.3.14. Wind chart. Each pilot completing a checkout will be assigned a wind chart number from 1 to 4. This number is based on aircraft Pilot’s Operating Handbook, or T.O. 1T-41C-1, aircraft qualification, and demonstrated ability of crosswind proficiency as assessed by the instructor. See Wind Chart at Attachment 3. 2.3.15. Annual Video Requirements. There is a requirement for each member to view the following videos initially and annually: the Flight Line Safety Video, Foreign Object Damage (FOD) Video, and the Mountain Flying Video or Mountain Flying Training course as designated by the Flight Center. 2.3.16. Non-Current Members. If a member becomes non-current his / her ADP Membership 8
1 January 2020 Status may be changed to INACTIVE. The non-current condition must be corrected prior to flying again. Members not exercising their Flight Center flying privileges for more than six months will be considered inactive and their ADP Membership Status may be changed to INACTIVE. A member may become non-current for any of the following reasons: - Aircraft currency overdue. Medical expired. Covenant-not-to-sue expired. Annual standardization overdue. Incomplete documentation in membership folder. New PIF item. Chronic missing safety meeting(s). Violations or non-compliance with regulations and directives. 9
1 January 2020 CHAPTER 3 Operational Restrictions and Local Area Procedures 3.1. Restrictions and Requirements. 3.1.1. Requirements. In addition to the restrictions and requirements of AFMAN 34-152, the following flight restrictions apply to all Flight Center pilots. 3.1.2. Touch-and-Go. Touch and go landings are prohibited in retractable gear aircraft. Touch and go landings are prohibited for solo Private Pilot students. 3.1.3. T-41C. The T-41C is limited to 105 mph IAS for cruise climb and will not be operated in cruise flight at power settings above 2600 rpm, to prevent engine over speed. 3.1.4 Runway size and condition. Flight Center aircraft are prohibited from using unpaved runways. Local area airports, Mid Valley (E98) and Sandia East (1N1), are specifically “Off Limits” for restrictions listed in AFMAN 34-152, para 6.18.4. Exceptions to this requirement will only be granted by the chief flight instructor or the Flight Center manager. 3.1.5. Fire Precautions and Procedures. Fires during preflight and engine start are very hazardous. Safety of people always takes priority over preservation of property. Remain clear of a fire that is rapidly growing or uncontrolled. Do not attempt to extinguish a fire if it is unsafe to do so. Always notify the fire department of any fire, even if the fire appears to be out. 3.1.5.1. Fire Extinguishers. Instructors will cover the use of flight line fire extinguishers during initial and annual check rides. 3.1.5.2. If a fire occurs while starting, attempt to put out the fire with an extinguisher. However, if it is not safe for you to attempt to extinguish the fire, use the nearest phone, call the fire department, and provide all information necessary for them to locate the aircraft. 3.1.5.3. Follow the procedures in the aircraft’s operating handbook in the event of an induction system or engine fire during starting, ground operations, or shutdown. If time permits, call Ground Control on 121.9 to request emergency assistance. All aircraft occupants should be briefed on where to gather for a head count in the event that a ground evacuation is required. 3.1.6. Aircraft Starting. 10
1 January 2020 3.1.6.1. There will be no hand propping of aircraft. All starts will use the built-in starter. If necessary the external battery may be used if a second person is available and familiar with using the battery and cable system. That individual will connect external cables while the pilot remains in the aircraft. Never leave the aircraft running if the pilot cannot occupy the pilot seat for any reason. 3.1.6.2. Aircraft engines will not be operated east of the hangar unless the aircraft is east of the vehicle road marked on the ramp by double solid yellow lines. Engine operation between the hangar and the road is considered hazardous and will be reported as a safety violation. 3.1.7. Taxi Procedures. An Albuquerque International Sunport (KABQ) Airport Diagram is located at Attachment 1. The most current airport diagram should be referenced for taxiing. Flight Center aircraft will follow designated taxi routes and will not use vehicle roadways for taxiing. Taxiing an aircraft from one side of the base operations hangar to the other will be accomplished using Taxiway B and maintaining radio contact with ground control. 3.1.7.1. Flight Center aircraft will not be taxied closer than 500 feet behind a large aircraft whose engines are running. Flight center aircraft will not be stopped for engine run-up, or other purposes, in a position such that jet or propeller blast from passing large aircraft will be directed at Flight Center aircraft from a distance of less than 500 feet. When a large aircraft is taxiing from the opposite direction, move your aircraft well off to the side of the taxiway to avoid possible intense propeller or jet engine blast. 3.1.7.2. Flight Center aircraft will not be taxied or parked closer than 300 feet from a hovering helicopter, or a helicopter on the ground with its rotor blades in motion. 3.1.7.3. Flight Center aircraft will not be taxied within 50 feet of any aircraft that is being refueled. 3.1.7.4. Flight Center aircraft will not start engines or be taxied within 50 feet of the hangar. Aircraft engines will not be operated east of the base operations hangar between the hangar and the vehicular roadway. 3.1.8. Other Guidance and Procedures 3.1.8.1. Aerobatics, including spins, are prohibited except for spins required by the flight instructor-training course. 3.1.8.2. In accordance with Cessna Aircraft Service Letter CES10-14-2 (28 July 1981) MS81-2, during airborne operations of the T-41C aircraft at less than 1500 RPM for more than 30 seconds, perform engine clearing functions every 20-30 seconds by smoothly applying power up to 1500 RPM, then retarding to idle. 11
1 January 2020 3.1.9. Fuel Reserves. Flight Center aircraft will land with no less than one hour of fuel reserves. If fuel reserve is less than one hour, land as soon as practical at a suitable airport to obtain additional fuel. 3.1.9.1. The observations in Figure 3.1. with regards to fuel management will be observed by all Flight Center pilots: Figure 3.1. Fuel Management Fuel consumption in the POH may vary significantly from that published by the engine manufacturer Improper leaning techniques can greatly increase consumption Any attitude, other than level, positive-G flight can cause fuel interruption in gravity-fed fuel systems Range data published by the manufacturer is very optimistic 3.1.9.2. Use the steps in Figure 3.2. to overcome fuel system inadequacies: Figure 3.2. Steps Know your departure fuel Account for all phases of flight and use pessimistic fuel consumption rates Know and use proper leaning techniques. Prolonged slips, skids, or turbulence can easily uncover a fuel port when there is minimum fuel in tanks Know your fuel consumption and how long you have been airborne 12
1 January 2020 3.1.10. Mid-Air Collision Avoidance. 3.1.10.1. There are low altitude tracks for C-130s and refueling helicopters to the southwest of Albuquerque and Belen. Watch for and remain clear of in-flight refueling operations. Check NOTAMs prior to flight to determine if refueling tracks will be active. 3.1.10.2. Albuquerque Approach / Departure Control vectors numerous aircraft over the northwest practice area. Watch for inbound or outbound traffic to Albuquerque International Sunport, particularly when operating above 8,500’ MSL. 3.1.10.3. When operating south of Albuquerque International Sunport Airport at low level, watch for helicopters transitioning to their practice field approximately 5 miles south of the airport. 3.1.10.4. There is an aerobatics box in the northwest practice area. It is located at the Albuquerque 345 radial, 12 DME, 1/2 NM radius, surface to 9,500’. Flight Service or Approach / Departure Control may advise when the box is in use; however, other pilots frequently use it without providing notification. Exercise caution near this area. 3.1.10.5. Bird / Animal Hazards. The Rio Grande Valley is a main migratory route. Pay attention when flying along the river. Also, be alert when flying over bodies of water. Report any bird strikes utilizing the forms posted on the Flight Center wall by the bulletin board. Animals on airport surfaces at the Albuquerque International Sunport and all airports in the local flying area are not uncommon and can create real problems. Be especially vigilant for animals when accomplishing takeoffs and landings at an airport. 3.1.11. Refueling. Each pilot is responsible for refueling and cleaning windscreens after each flight. All Flight Center pilots will receive refueling training during their initial checkout by a Flight Center instructor, to include fire extinguisher use and the location of the emergency fuel cut-off valve. Procedures are as follows: 3.1.11.1. Enter the refueling loop, from the south, so the pumps are on the pilot’s left side. Put the nose wheel on the yellow taxi line in front of the pumps—this will ensure adequate wing tip clearance for all Flight Center aircraft. Avoid the gravel / soft and broken asphalt areas around the refueling area. 3.1.11.2. When Fire Fighting air tankers are parked at the south end of their servicing areas, it may be impossible to exit the north side of the refueling loop. In that case, back and turn the aircraft away from the pumps with the tow bar and exit the loop on the south side. 3.1.11.3. Damage can occur to the filler neck of the aircraft if excessive force is applied to it by the nozzle of the hose. Do not allow the weight of the hose and nozzle to bear on the filler neck opening. Never leave the nozzle in the opening if you forget to turn on the 13
1 January 2020 pump and return to the pump controls. To prevent contamination and damage, do not allow the pump nozzle to drag on the ground. 3.1.11.4. The requirement to refuel after each flight may be waived by the chief flight instructor for local flights under specified conditions or if coordination is made with the following pilot. If the aircraft was not refueled, leave a note stating the reason (thunderstorm or winds) so the next person may ascertain whether the aircraft needs to be refueled prior to their flight. 3.1.11.5. Fuel Spills. In the event of a fuel spill at the fuel pumps, take whatever action is appropriate / necessary to stop the flow of fuel. Normally turning off the pump with the key should work. Use the emergency cut-off if needed. Notify Flight Center management / maintenance, the KAFB Fire Department, 911 or 853-9111, and KAFB Environmental Management, 846-2751 as soon as practical. Should a fuel spill occur causing puddles of fuel, under or around an aircraft, do not attempt to start the engine. The aircraft must be towed clear of the puddles of fuel using the tow bar. Call the Fire Department to dispose of the spilled fuel. 3.1.11.6. Refueling During Inclement Weather. Do not refuel aircraft when steady surface wind speed exceeds 25 knots or steady wind plus ½ gust exceeds 30 knots. Do not refuel during sandstorms, in heavy rain, or if lightning is observed within five miles of the airport. 3.1.12. Parking. Each member is responsible for the security of the aircraft after the flight. Parking will normally be in the hangar or in the Flight Center parking spots west of the hangar. Pilots may leave aircraft parked near the fuel pumps between flights only if a face-to-face or telephone exchange is made with the oncoming pilot. Aircraft will be chocked and secured per the checklist. (Note: Aircraft must be towed onto the paved taxiway before engine start to avoid propeller damage). 3.1.12.1. Aircraft parked in the hangar must have one of the main wheels chocked and a ground wire attached to the aircraft. 3.1.12.2. Aircraft parked on the ramp must have all three tie-downs (tail and each wing) installed; grounding wire attached, and have both main wheels chocked fore and aft. 3.1.12.3. Aircraft parked on the ramp will be locked and tied down after all flights. The only exception is if the pilot makes a face-to-face exchange with the new pilot at the fuel pump or other location. Obtain tie-down kits from the Flight Center if you are going to an airport where tie-down availability is in question. Damages incurred, as a result of unsecured aircraft, will be the responsibility of the pilot. 14
1 January 2020 3.1.13. Diversion. Pilots on local area flights who divert to an airport, other than Albuquerque (ABQ), for weather or other reasons (with the exception of a bona fide emergency) will be responsible for returning the airplane to the Flight Center, as soon as possible. If the member is unable or unwilling to do this, they will be charged for the costs of returning the airplane. Every effort will be made to keep these costs to a minimum. 3.1.14. Restricted Area. A restricted ramp area is located east of the hangar and identified by a painted red line. Designated entry control points are marked with white paint and are for official use only. Pilots must notify SSCC by phone (846-1478 or 846-1323) before pulling the A/C
1.1.4.2. In the interest of other Flight Center members, it is the duty of each member to immediately notify the Flight Center manager, chief flight instructor, operations officer, safety officer, or clearing authority, when violations are observed. Safety of flight is paramount to the Flight Center's operations. 1.2. Quorums and meetings.
